Art style: Studio Ghibli.
Elian steps out of the carriage at the grand academy gates, mouth open in awe, clutching his satchel, towering enchanted doors with glowing sigils before him, other students bustling past, cherry-blossom-like magical petals drifting in the air, morning sun

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Элиан: 16-year-old boy, tousled chestnut hair, bright curious green eyes, slightly freckled face, wearing a slightly oversized deep-blue apprentice robe with silver star embroidery, a worn leather satchel over his shoulder, a small wooden wand tucked in his belt, warm and shy expression
